To all whom it may. eoncern:

a citizen er, the United States, -residi at Manhattan borou h, in the county of ew York'and State 0 New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Type- Set tingMachines, of which the. following'is a specification, I This invention relates to a device by which type can be readily assembled or set onto a[ type-rodor the like to be used in-aprintingr machineernbod'ying' t1 is invention."

Anarm or s'u 'ort es about center b can'be'grasped button i b i by one of said buttons and-swing to correspond or register with a desired type, as indicated on thelet-l ter-board g, which. is placedin-proper posi- 3 tion on -supports and held by pins or screws h.

' 'The-movableor-iselect 'arm e carries a pusher or ejector .ri', p'ivote to a lever ]c,'fu1-" crumed at m.- A finger-levermfulcrumed at '0, serves to actuate the bell-crank lever 7c and slide the ej ector-i ,1 so thatjits: free or forward end passes through the respective type-sup- 7 ply in magazine :Thelever n is-shown extended forwardly to the front of. the machine to be within easy reach of or handyfor the operator working at the keyboard.

or sheet metal, but the choice of suitable ma-' g Y v I terial is no part ofthe invention. :Thls invention-resides in the features of Y construction set forth in tie following specification and claims and illustrated in the anthrou'gh such type-column, will eject a type.

4 r 5, the ejector running its free end- Be it known that I, WILLIAMP. QUENTELL,

The type-can be madeto successively settle toward the exit in the magazine by their weight or could be pressed by suitable means onto atype-receiving rod q, as indicated by a I t e'r,F1gs.-6 and 8.

he type-rod g, and type r can be of vari-' Tnetype can be formed of thin In Fig7 the rod q is shown channeled or utter-shaped, and the corresponding type, ig. 6, are shown with edges or lips adapted to-sli into the rod.

In ig., 8 the'rod is shown witha flat top and clasped by a type with depending or downwardly-bent edge ortions. The buttons f have p ungers 8, whose minals or sto hinged toyieiil terportions t are movable or to a certaln degree. The

'playof the terminals t is limited by stops or tubes u, fixed to the under side ofarm 6.

The letterboard g has fixed or rigid studs or stop parts 3. The button-shanks or plungers s are normallyheld up or out of action by springs coiled or seated about the shanks.

When the selecting-arm 6 is brought t6 proximity with a selected letter or character.

on the board and the button f with shank s and stop t is depressed to come against stud l 3, the stop t coming to rest against sto one side ,or another, the ejector 'i is in iine to select a corresponding type from the magazine. I

Four buttons f are shown corresponding to the arrangement of four rows of studs onthe keyboard, which arrangement enables a comact structure to be obtained or avoids engthening the keyboard to an excessive exuon 7 tent.

The-device can be adapted for case-shift- 'ing,=fso called.- The board or plate 9 has a certain play by reason of slot connections at h, and a'shifter, such as a worm 4 with handle 5, can shift the board with stops 3 "to arrest or set the plunger 11 opposite a small or Y lar e or other type or character.

n each vtube of the magazine, respectively, are contained type all bearing one letter or character, so that the plun er when. correspondingly set and actuated wi 1 always eject such a type as answers to the character.

i on the keyboard at which the arm 6 has been i arrested... r

The magazine is of course divided into compartments sufficient for the required assortment of type with small and .large or other characters.

The type is shown with flanges or engagin parts, and the type-rod g is likewise shape The pointer 7 can be made to act as a stop.

The pointer 7 can be made to straddle or clamp the scale so as to slide, but be frictionally revented from accidentally moving.

Wliat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A type-magazine, an arm pivoted at one side of the magazine and provided with a pusher or ejector at the other side of the same, a lever for moving the ejector and an actuating button or arm for the lever.

2. A magazine having different fonts v,or sets of type, means for selecting the type, a letter or index board, and a setting device or case-shift for the letter or index board.

3. A type-setting machine comprising a magazine, an ejector, a setting-arm for the ejector, a series of stops for the setting-arm, a

support or letter-board for the stops and a shift or worm gear for the support.

A type magazine or supply, a movable selecting-arm means for transferring type from the magazine to the arm, a letter-board with stops, and yielding or swinging stops to coact with the stepson the board and allow the selecting-arm to register with the type.

5. A type-supply, aselecta'ng-arm with stop-plungters having movable terminals, stops on the swingin arm for limiting the playof the terminals, and a letter-board with stops for engagement of the movable terminals. I

6. A magazine having fonts or sets of type, means for selecting type from the magazine, means for holding the selected ty es, a letter or index'board,and means for s i fting said board.

7. A circularly or are shaped ty m-magazine, an arm pivoted in the circum. erence of said arc, a type-rod carried by the arm within the circumference, stops on the arm, a keyboard, studs on the keyboard for arresting the stops, an ejector carried by the arm,a lever fulcrumed on the arm and connected to the ejector, and a finger-lever engaging the ejector-lever.

8. A type-supply, a selecting arm or support with a stop-plunger, a letter-board with stops for engagement with the plunger, and means for moving type from the supply to the arm. I

-9. A type-supply, -a type-red for receiving type from the supply, a selecting arm or suport for the rod, a plunger on saidsupport, a etter-board with stops for engagement with the plunger, and means for moving type from the supply to the rod.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
